Blog

2015 has been a big year for both of us! We launched this blog, both left established careers to pursue real estate full-time, and celebrated momentous life events; including wedding anniversaries, international travels, and the announcement of a little one on the way. With all of this, we decided to go back and offer updates from blog posts past. Scan through the images below to see our notables.
